Jaguars Uncaged is a party, my kind of party with deep soul, learning, connection, dancing + excellent guests.
In April 2020, 800 people came together for Jaguar in the Time of Cholera. At that time, we had no idea how long the pandemic would last- most of us were thinking it would be about six weeks, so we thought maybe that class would take us all the way through the process.
Here we are two years later.
We’ve all been through so much. We have all been tenderized. Although we don’t know what’s next, there is a sense that there are new possibilities emerging.
Reclaiming the feminine is a part of medicine for this time.
We are human animals.
We’ve been domesticated.
We’ve been limited, restricted and at times caged for the last two years.
What happens to a caged animal?
It may relentlessly and continuously pace its cage. It may turn that restlessness inward, chew or harm itself.
It may lay down and give up, as if sedated.
In times like these, like any caged animal, you may also have toggled between restlessness and resignation. Anxiety and lethargy.
Hope and despair. Action and procrastination. Exhilaration and exhaustion.
Now that we are free to roam there are new challenges.
We have to learn to be together again, to find our way back into our own rhythms and into social connection.
We can’t let isolation, separation and screens become the “new normal,” because we are disperse, distracted and confused.
It’s time we find our way back to our bodies, shake loose stagnation and residue, and make conscious choices about community.
It’s time to break free.
Do you feel that nothing you can do will be enough?
Are you shut down to the juicy, delightful parts of yourself?
Are you resentful at the thought of having to do anything else because you are so overwhelmed and overtaxed?
There’s no right way to be going through these times, except TOGETHER.
How we move through these neverending transitional moments depends on how we metabolize the stress and tension in our bodies and how we are able to come together with other humans and our ability to connect to the ineffable beauty of life.
We’ll have to push through haziness, lethargy, and even dread so that we build capacity to be around people again.
How ironic that we need most for survival- human connection- has become something so fraught.
In the midst of shifting sands, we must double down on our connection to the Earth and to Spirit.
Feminine spirituality holds the body, the soul and the Earth in its wingspan.
Feminine spirituality knows we can connect directly to the Source without any intermediaries and at any moment.
Feminine spirituality includes the underworld, the dark, the unseen and the unsung.
Feminine spirituality is immanent not transcendent.
Jaguars Uncaged is the antidote to fear and panic, to the extreme narratives and polarization that we find around us.
Jaguar energy means you can locate your center and operate from it, knowing what is right for you, and being able to move from there.
It has been found historically that in natural disasters and epidemics, the people who emerge without PTSD and trauma, are the ones who are able to move.
We have that choice now. To move and to choose to connect.
We can choose to meet these overwhelming tensions and demands with compassion.
We can be discerning and focused in a way that allows our nervous system to move through the very normal stress cycles we all continue to face and to become more resilient.
We need trustworthy somatic tools, guidance, modeling and direction- a way forward with our personal nervous systems and our collective nervous system- the worldwide web of fascia and fabric that holds us together-
so that we can hold it all.
A note on the word “Feminine”
- The feminine I’m referring to is an archetypal energy that exists in female and male bodies.
- I don’t see feminine as better or more elevated than the masculine.
- The feminine is often overlooked, warped and misunderstood, even in Goddess and women’s circles
- The feminine has medicine for us at this time.
- You can have your own relationship to the word itself- your own ideas, emotions, reactions, insights + evolutions- and each guest will share their own experience of how the feminine works in their life and their teachings.
***This class centers the experience of females who identify as women.
Watch The Replay: Women, Hormones & The Nervous System
Who is this For?
- Artists and freelancers who live and/or work alone
- Spiritual seekers aiming to root their practice in the body
- Humans who see themselves as leaders in this emergent era
- Mothers seeking to be the regulating center of their homes
- Empaths who struggle not to collapse their boundaries into the collective energy
- Humans who need and want community and support
- People who want an alternative or complement to talk therapy
In this class, you will learn:
- Understand your own nervous system in real time and in your own body
- Have space to grieve
- Learn how to accurately read the signals your body is giving you and know what direction to move to from there
- Come to a deeper understanding of feminine spirituality and how you want to devote yourself to it
- Identify your own power center
- Move stagnant energy so you can feel more like yourself
- Learn how to stop projecting your anxiety outwards and learn to metabolize it, so you can communicate from your deepest truth, and be heard
- Practice surfing big waves of emotions and sensations so that you feel like you feel like you’re the surfer and not the stormy ocean
How is this class different from Activate Your Inner Jaguar?
- The focus in this Jaguar round is feminine spirituality– for the first time ever.
- Each class will be 60 minutes long, and will be less theory and more somatic exercises
- This class is open to all genders (often my classes are for women only)
- There will be 2 or 3 classes each week. I’ll teach Tuesday, a guest will teach Fridays and some Mondays.
- This is the lowest price point we offer for live courses so that there is as little barrier to entry as possible.
Investment: choose what you pay
Why “choose-what-you-pay?” When we first offered Jaguar in A Time of Cholera it was April 2020, a time of deep uncertainty. I offered a choose what you pay option to make the Jaguar to make the material accessible to those who needed it.
As a nod to our journey over the past 2 years, I’ve brought back this payment option to help students access this material with as little barrier to entry as possible.
Everyone has varying economic privilege, so I ask that you practice self-regulation to choose what you are able to pay at this time. Early bird pricing ends Sunday May 1st, at midnight (prices will increase $50)
All members of the jamboree- a group of Jaguars- are essential. This discounted price allows us to keep the energetic flow of money into the economy while continuing to serving our community.
This mid-range option is priced below our regular Jaguar rate, so that more people will be able to access this material now.
Gift for yourself and another Jaguar. This pay-it-forward option makes it possible for us to offer a discounted rate to those who are struggling financially during this time.
A Note On Refunds: Transparency is a core value of the Jaguar community, we put a lot of effort into an accurate representation of the course experience and we are happy to answer your questions in advance. Because our products are digital goods that are accessible once the course begins we do not offer refunds. Thank you for understanding.
